was sworn into his
second term in
office.
The boy, Ali Reza
(his last name
wasni published), was reportedly killed last week during a
mourning ceremony for Neda Agha Soltan, who was shot to
death on July 20. Thousands of people attended the ceremony at
the cemetery in which she was buried, and clashes with security
ensued.

This would make All Reza the youngest person to have been
killed in the turmoil following Iran's disputed June12 elections.
The death toll currently stands at 30, but reports say the unofficial
number is closer to 100.
Etemad Melli news reported Wednesday that the Iranian
parliament had appointed an investigating committee in order to
verify the claims. One committee member, Hamid Reza K, said
he had not heard of the case but that he would speak to the boy's
family.
The paper,
which belongs
to defeated
reformist leader
Mehdi Karoubi,
reported that
the family had
only succeeded
in recovering
Ali Reza's body
four days after
his death. The
family refused
to divulge
details about
his funeral.

“He's the elected leader,” Gibbs responded.
Talking to reporters Wednesday while en route to Indiana with
President Barack Obama, the spokesman said, “Let me correct a
little bit of what I said yesterday. ... I would say that's not for me to
pass judgment on.”
Gibbs said that Ahmadinejad has been inaugurated, “that's a
fact.” He said it must be up to the Iranian people to decide
whether the election “was fair.”
